One of my best discovery of the last decade has been Thunderbolt Fantasy. If you're a fan of wandering swordsmen and fantasy you NEED to give it a shot!
To explain what it even is would just make it sound super lame... I think watching the first 5 minutes or so of the first episode will get you into the beat of things:
This serie (so far two seasons and a movie, with more on the way) was born of the collaboration between Japanese anime writer Gen Urobuchi (of Madoka and Fate fame) and Taiwanese production company Pili who has been at this for like 40 years by now.
These things are traditional taiwanese GLOVE puppets. They're maybe two feet tall at the most and the head on these is the size of a kiwi! The details are insane and they're all handmade!
